Soarin' Over California: A Farewell Flight
So, You Think You Know When Soarin' Over California Ends?
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, or should I say, the golden state in the sky? That’s right, we’re diving into the Soarin’ Over California situation at EPCOT. For those living under a rock (or, more likely, just really enjoying the ride), this iconic attraction is bidding adieu to its Florida fans.
The California Dreamin’ is Over
If you're a Soarin' aficionado, you've probably been holding your breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well, it dropped. And it landed with a gentle thud, like a particularly soft California landing. Soarin’ Over California officially ended its run at EPCOT on February 27, 2024. That’s right, folks. No more hanging out with Carl the seagull, no more breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and no more pretending you can smell the ocean breeze.
Why’d They Do It, Man?
Now, you might be wondering, "Why, Disney, why?" Well, the short answer is: Soarin’ Around the World. This global adventure replaced the California classic, offering a more diverse and inclusive experience. It’s like trading in your favorite pair of jeans for a whole new wardrobe. But hey, change is good, right? Right?
So, What Now?
Don’t despair, Soarin’ fans! While we mourn the loss of our beloved California flight, we can look forward to exploring new horizons with Soarin’ Around the World. Plus, there’s always the possibility of a surprise California comeback in the future. Stranger things have happened.
Until then, let’s cherish the memories we made soaring over the Golden State. Remember that time you almost kissed the Hollywood sign? Or that moment when you thought you were really going to crash into the ocean? Good times, good times.
